Hello, 

I'm want to set a user as administrator of a project using an automation rule. Anyone knows if is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Hi @caroline.vilar 

There is an open suggestion to add this feature: https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-280

And, I wonder if it could be done by calling the REST API with a webrequest action.  I have not tried this.

Best regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy 

Thanks for the reply. I'm using API to create the project through automation, but I was hoping to find a simple way to set the project lead in the administrator role. 

Thanks anyway.

As I was already using API to create a new project when an issue was transitioned to a certain status so I created another branch in the automation to set the assigned of the issue as administrator of the new project. What I did:

- I created a new role ("Tech Lead")

- use the smart values to set the assigned of the issue (that triggers the automation) to the role Tech lead in the new project

-  Created a permission scheme that set this role as administrator of the project

Maybe there is (or will be) a more simple way to do it, but that's how I manage to solve this.

This is not possible.
